Sahih Muslim 1854b
وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو غَسَّانَ الْمِسْمَعِيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ مُعَاذٍ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لأَبِي غَسَّانَ - حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذٌ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ الدَّسْتَوَائِيُّ - حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ، عَنْ ضَبَّةَ بْنِ مِحْصَنٍ الْعَنَزِيِّ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ " إِنَّهُ يُسْتَعْمَلُ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَرَاءُ فَتَعْرِفُونَ وَتُنْكِرُونَ فَمَنْ كَرِهَ فَقَدْ بَرِئَ وَمَنْ أَنْكَرَ فَقَدْ سَلِمَ وَلَكِنْ مَنْ رَضِيَ وَتَابَعَ " . قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلاَ نُقَاتِلُهُمْ قَالَ " لاَ مَا صَلَّوْا " . أَىْ مَنْ كَرِهَ بِقَلْبِهِ وَأَنْكَرَ بِقَلْبِهِ .
Abu Ghassan al-Mismai and Muhammad ibn Bashshar both narrated from Muadh; the wording is that of Abu Ghassan. Muadh, namely Ibn Hisham al-Dastawai, narrated to us; my father narrated to me, from Qatadah. Al-Hasan narrated to us, from Dabbah ibn Mihsan al-Anazi, from Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that he said: “Rulers will be appointed over you, and you will recognize some of their actions and disapprove of others. Whoever detests them is free of blame, and whoever denounces them is safe. But whoever approves and follows them...” They asked, “Messenger of Allah, should we not fight them?” He replied, “No, as long as they pray.” That is, whoever detests and denounces them in his heart.
